Patriots | Cam Newton open to short-term deal with NE
New England Patriots impending free-agent QB Cam Newton said he would be open to signing a one-year contract with the Patriots this offseason.
Footballguys View: Newton is set to hit the open market when the new league year begins. The Patriots are in need of quarterback help, and they may be considering a rookie like Mac Jones (Alabama) in the 2021 NFL draft. They could bring in Newton to start while the rookie gets up to speed. Newton was ‘meh’ as the starter in 2020 but perhaps the team thinks he deserves one more year as a starting option.
